Korean Independence Army

The Korean Independence Army was a Korean resistance movement that operated in China, Korea, and Manchuria during Japanese rule in Korea. The army was one of 30 Korean independence factions, and its ranks included the famed sniper Ahn Okyun, who took part in the 1933 assassinations of General Kawaguchi Mamoru and businessman Kang In-guk. The Independence Army merged into the Korean Liberation Army in 1940.
